FLIGHT

today blogging assignment is the word flight. This word actually means :
The motion of an object in or through a medium, especially through the earth's atmosphere or through space. eg. the flight on the plane was wonderful.

flight is related to the word fly, which related to planes which flies. and this made me think of the RSAF which is the airforce of singapore. a few days ago, they got an exhibition " High on Asian Aerospace 06" they show to the public all kinds of planes in the air force. the airforce use a flight recorder for for recording flight data and they have flight path for the planes to move around in those lanes

Flight is a noun. it basically means a journey from a place to another place. there are many phrase related to the word. example:

flight of fancy - this means an imaginative but unworkable idea

the word flight also reminds me of the crashing of aircraft into the world trade center in 2001, the 911 attacks by the terrorist, more than 1000 people was killed. the tower also collaspe which shock everyone else. this incident occur in the morning where everyone is still in the sleepy mode. this made the city in chaos. a hijacked American Airlines jet, slammed into one tower of the 110-story World Trade Center. As smoke and flames poured out of the building and rescue workers battled to save victims, a second plane hit the second tower. The two towers soon collapsed. Huge clouds of smoke hung over Manhattan. The nearby Wall Street financial markets were shut down. A short time later, another plane struck the Pentagon, touching off a massive explosion and fire, and making a hole in one side of the building. and i think this cause a war to happen.

another incident was about the airplane SQ006 which crash at Chiang Kai Shek International Airport before it takes off, because aircraft took off from the wrong runway causing the crash from happening, 84 people was killed and many was injured.

Basically this word reminds me of those "plane" accidents that killed quite a number of people.
